EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this delightful print captured by Tom and Pat Leeson, we witness the ultimate relaxation session in progress. Meet TOM-816, an African Elephant with a mischievous streak! Taking full advantage of Lake Kariba's refreshing waters in Zimbabwe, TOM-816 is indulging in a luxurious mud bath. With its massive frame partially submerged in the muddy goodness, this playful pachyderm demonstrates how to beat the scorching African heat like a pro. Spraying water and squirting mud all around, it seems that TOM-816 has mastered the art of temperature control! As spectators to this incredible scene unfold before our eyes, we can't help but marvel at the sheer joy radiating from every wrinkle on TOM-816's face. The vibrant red backdrop adds an extra touch of drama to this already captivating moment. This single naughty elephant reminds us that even giants need some downtime too! Not only does this behavior serve as entertainment for us humans but also plays a crucial role in their well-being. By wallowing in mud baths like these, elephants keep themselves cool while simultaneously protecting their skin from harmful sun rays. So next time you're feeling stressed or overwhelmed by life's demands, take inspiration from our friend TOM-816 here - embrace your inner elephant and treat yourself to some much-needed pampering!
